The Crank Hold System was introduced on applicable vehicles beginning with the 2003 model year for improved starting and starting system reliability. The Engine Control Module (ECM, SAE term: Powertrain Control Module/PCM) controls the starter in vehicles equipped with the Crank Hold System. In the event of a discharged battery, follow the procedures listed in this bulletin. This system requires higher battery voltage than a conventional starting system to operate. In addition to following the jump start procedures found in the applicable Owner’s Manual, vehicles with a very low state of charge (below 6 volts) may require some extra steps to get started. S Use very good quality jump cables or jump boxes.
It is necessary to have the donor vehicle’s engine running while jump starting. S Extended connection time to a donor vehicle is sometimes necessary to bring the discharged battery up to a minimum required voltage. S You will NOT be able to jump start a vehicle with a frozen battery. S Vehicle batteries with a very low state of charge may require some charging before the vehicle will jump start.
